Interaction With Tilting Gestures In Ubiquitous Environments
In this paper, we introduce a tilting interface that controls direction based
applications in ubiquitous environments. A tilt interface is useful for
situations that require remote and quick interactions or that are executed in
public spaces. We explored the proposed tilting interface with different
application types and classified the tilting interaction techniques. Augmenting
objects with sensors can potentially address the problem of the lack of
intuitive and natural input devices in ubiquitous environments. We have
conducted an experiment to test the usability of the proposed tilting interface
to compare it with conventional input devices and hand gestures. The experiment
results showed greater improvement of the tilt gestures in comparison with hand
gestures in terms of speed, accuracy, and user satisfaction.Comment: 13 pages, 10 figure
Design and development of a glove with remote controller function for video games
Treball final de Grau en Disseny i Desenvolupament de Videojocs. Codi: VJ1241. Curs acadèmic: 2019/2020This document is the Final Degree Work of the Bachelor’s Degree in Video
Game Design and Development. This work consists in the design and the
development of a glove that fulfills the function of a video game controller and that
can be used on any console or computer to replace the use of the common
DualShock1 control.
This controller used as an input controller will use the movements and
rotation of the hand and the movements of the fingers. As an example of a game
which will be able to use this device is the well known “Surgeon Simulator”

GUARDIANS final report
Emergencies in industrial warehouses are a major concern for firefghters. The large dimensions together with the development of dense smoke that drastically reduces visibility, represent major challenges. The Guardians robot swarm is designed to assist fire fighters in searching a
large warehouse. In this report we discuss the technology developed for a swarm of robots searching and assisting fire fighters. We explain the swarming algorithms which provide the functionality by which the robots react to and follow humans while no communication is required. Next we
discuss the wireless communication system, which is a so-called mobile ad-hoc network. The communication network provides also one of the means to locate the robots and humans. Thus the robot swarm is able to locate itself and provide guidance information to the humans. Together with
the re ghters we explored how the robot swarm should feed information back to the human fire fighter. We have designed and experimented with interfaces for presenting swarm based information to human beings
Advanced sensors technology survey
This project assesses the state-of-the-art in advanced or 'smart' sensors technology for NASA Life Sciences research applications with an emphasis on those sensors with potential applications on the space station freedom (SSF). The objectives are: (1) to conduct literature reviews on relevant advanced sensor technology; (2) to interview various scientists and engineers in industry, academia, and government who are knowledgeable on this topic; (3) to provide viewpoints and opinions regarding the potential applications of this technology on the SSF; and (4) to provide summary charts of relevant technologies and centers where these technologies are being developed
